'Decision is made': Varadkar to reveal election date next week

Rumours abound that Leo Varadkar is preparing to call a general election on February 7.

Update: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has indicated that the country is potentially heading for a general election in the coming weeks, given a change in support in the Dáil for the coalition.

Speaking to RTE's The Week in Politics, he confirmed he had changed his mind about intending to hold a vote in May. This was in part due to changed support in the Dáil for the Fine Gael-led coalition.
